Progress/Confession Project

Despite my initial anxiety, I thought that everybody's confession project and critique went very well this week. To be honest, I am glad that I went first because after mine I soon realized that everyone else's confessions were a lot more serious. reflecting back on mine now, part of me feels like I should have done a deeper confession rather than "I fear when balloons pop." However, the whole point of my piece was for it to be interactive and fun. I like that everybody in the class could participate in my confession and it was not just me standing in front of them explaining something. I think if I had made a little bit more time for myself, I could have filled the whole room with balloons and given everyone a needle or something sharp so that they could pop them. In order for this to happen I should have asked more of friends to help me in blowing them up. It was very difficult to transport the balloons to the school. I thought about blowing them up in the classroom beforehand but I did not know how early i would have to get there and so I figured that I should be save and start ahead of time. I am glad that people understood my confession although the execution did not go quite as I had hoped. Some people liked the writing and others did not. Thinking back on it now, I could have created a game that could possibly have been understood more clearly. I like the idea of sitting on the balloons because it is familiar to me. Perhaps I could have invented a new game that took that one to the next level in order for more of my imagination to show through.

 Balloons take over the classroom! This is how the room looked when everybody came in. Everyone was very confused at first.

 I included caption such as this and "Pop me!" because I wanted people to understand what to do.

 I set up balloons around the classroom as well that I went around and popped while the class watched me.

 The pink balloon in the cupboard is actually on a bed of tacks that I guess was another student's project. I was hoping it would pop all by itself but I ended up still popping it myself.

 I'm glad that I chose different colors because it made it feel more nostalgic of a party and the games you play there.
